The Anti-Theology of JesusThe Anti-Theology of Jesus is first a celebration of who Jesus is and what he has done and will do with mankind in the future. The true identity of Jesus has been obscured by man-centered popular theologies, reducing Jesus of Scripture to a psychopagan deity of second-rate, defined primarily by Christmas and Easter sentimentality. The Anti-Theology of Jesus is a brief, yet compelling review of orthodox Christology as well as a critique of the modern culture that has re-scripted the Biblical Jesus to fit into its comfort zone. Michael Berner is pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in New Carlisle, Ohio, where he has served since 1984. Along with pastoring, he has served professionally in both private and public human services organizations since completing undergraduate degrees from Clark State and Urbana Universities. He holds graduate degrees from Wright State University and Bethany Seminary. Michael Berner lives with his family in Ohio where he has been a life-long resident. |
